MANAGING OUR ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT //
OUR COMMITMENT //
We endeavour to meet the needs of our stakeholders by
providing relevant and reliable data that is accurate and
complete. It is important to ensure the highest quality of Safety,
Health and Environment (SHE) and Sustainability Data (SD)
assurance. A robust external assurance process provides
enhanced confidence in the quality, reliability and accuracy of our
SHE and SD. We are committed to transparency and providing
appropriate assurance on disclosed data in line with our
reporting criteria, as underpinned by our Group SHE Policy.

APPROACH
The improvement of data quality and accuracy is a continuous effort. The timeous collection of
complete and accurate SHE&SD data enables both internal and external reporting. The key to ensuring
the completeness and accuracy of our SHE&SD is the Sasol Group Procedure for SHE&SD reporting.
The procedure has undergone a thorough review over the last year and includes augmented
requirements to ensure a rigorous governance process is followed. Further to this, an additional review
has been undertaken to ensure our readiness to adopt and support new reporting requirements.
By leveraging the SAP Sustainability Performance Management (SuPM) module, we are able to collect
key non-financial SHE&SD from an Operating model entity (OME) level. The SAP SuPM system provides
us with the capability to meet the data governance requirements set out in this Sasol Group Procedure
and ensures data is reviewed and approved at appropriate levels within the business.
PERFORMANCE
Updating of our non-financial data Procedure
The rapid and continuous evolution of the sustainability reporting landscape requires perpetual enhancing of our
non-financial data reporting process to ensure that we are always aligned to latest requirements. This process, which is
paramount for compiling our annual suite of reports, is similarly informed by various ESG reporting frameworks as detailed
on page 1. In addition, the non-financial data reporting process is supported by Sasol9s Procedure for the Measurement,
Reporting and Verification (MRV) of GHGs, which has undergone rigorous review with the Businesses.
Updated ESG reporting frameworks and Sasol 2.0 makes it necessary to reconfigure our SAP SuPM system to reflect our
new operating model. This also necessitated a review of the Group Non-financial Data Reporting Procedure as mentioned
earlier. Key changes to the SAP SuPM systems and the Non-financial Data Reporting procedure included:
" Procedure updates for improved data management processes;
" Implementation of external audit process improvements identified in the current and previous year; and
" A review of key performance indicators (KPI) selection methodologies to enhance the reporting process.
To continuously improve our non-financial data reporting, Sasol is investigating options for our existing reporting platform.
The scope and system requirements are being informed by strategic working groups focused on New Reporting
Requirements and is expected to be rolled-out within the next 12 to 24 months. This will allow the organisation to collect,
analyse and present non-financial data, in line with industry best practice and to ensure adherence and readiness to
support the new reporting requirements.
